Edge computing brings reliability to remote areas where cloud connectivity lacks, and helps to ensure efficient usage of available data connections. It is also not dependent on connection reliability to do its intended job

Latency first of all drops drastically with the use of Edge Computing, but also becomes predictable. This enables time sensitive decision making without the need for complex synchronisation. Lowering latency when dealing with human interaction also massively boosts user experience. And enables applications where systems have to act instantly based on input parameters. After all, we wouldn’t want a self driving car apply the brakes a split second too late, do we…

In the not too distant past we encountered a few moments where Privacy has been in the centre of attention for all the bad reasons. Edge computing helps eliminating these problems with local analysis of raw data, and the ability to anonymise right at the beginning, before the data goes to the cloud where it might get intercepted. Allowing modern self learning algorithms without exposing personal data
